Our kids are the best that there are and they have the best that there are! This is a milestone in time for our kids,our community,our state and our country that no one will be able to forget or deny. To be a part of it all is so overwhelming but watching my son have a rare chance at something this larger than life is priceless. It still seems unreal.
